Steve Peoples Associated Press Published 9:38 AM EST Jan 25, 2019 McLean, Va. – New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg is calling President Donald Trump “reckless” and “dangerous,” and says the partial government shutdown is “a complete failure of presidential leadership.” Bloomberg – a potential Democratic candidate for the White House in 2020 – also says in a speech to business leaders that he thinks “it’s clear that this president at this point cannot be helped.” Bloomberg’s remarks are among his most aggressive against Trump since Bloomberg’s speech at the Democratic National Convention more than two years ago.

Will Weissert Associated Press Published 1:26 PM EST Jan 11, 2019 Austin, Texas – Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says that, if he runs for president in 2020, he’ll pay for it himself. He’s also offering a broader defense of candidates who use personal riches to bankroll campaigns. Another top contender, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, has decried the presidency becoming “one more plaything that billionaires can buy.” Speaking to reporters in Austin on Friday, Bloomberg said “in terms of self-funding, let me tell you, I’ve made all of my money.” He says it shields him from having to answer to special interests. Bloomberg says he understands that not every candidate can be self-funded but those who can, should pay for their campaigns. Warren recently said on MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show” that Democrats should say “no to the billionaires,” including self-funding candidates. … [Read more...] about Bloomberg says he’d self-fund possible 2020 White House bid
